You are trying to: Find out where you go to vote in person for the upcoming election, including early voting options.

People often mix this up with

Vote by mail instead. If you would rather not show up in person, the Mail-in Voting Journey is the alternate route — Maricopa County lets you vote either way and you can switch your mind up to the deadline.
Check my voter registration. If you are not sure whether you are registered to vote at all, do the Check Registration Journey first — a polling place lookup only works if your registration is active.
Find a drop box. If you already have a mail ballot and want a drop box location, that is part of the Mail-in Voting Journey — drop boxes are NOT polling places and you cannot fill out a ballot there.

Why this is confusing

Maricopa County uses vote centers rather than traditional precinct-assigned polling places, which means you can vote at ANY open vote center on Election Day — but early voting locations and Election Day locations are not always the same list, and the County Recorder updates them on a different cadence than the Secretary of State publishes statewide.

What you would have had to know

You would already need to know that Maricopa uses the vote-center model (any open center works on Election Day), not the precinct model with one assigned location — that changes how to read every "polling place" result.

The right path

Look up the current vote center list from the Maricopa County Recorder, pick the one that fits your schedule (early or Election Day), and confirm the hours within 48 hours of your visit since they can change.

Step 1: Confirm your county

Polling places are assigned by county based on registration address. Confirm your county before searching.
